Try press F12 during VM startup to select boot device. That VM will have two
hard disks (root.img and that one from --hddisk option), so not sure if it is
possible to select from _which_ hard disk OS should be booted...
If it doesn't help, try to copy disk image to dom0 [1] and use it as root.img
(either create new VM with qvm-create --root-move-from, or replace root.img in
existing VM). Then start the VM without --hddisk option.
